And so did the Hispanic community. One speaker from the group IndyCAN talked about how he has been pulled over twice by police for traffic violations but is now more afraid the next time it could happen.

The Bailey family was taken aback by the support.

“When I get upset, I know the world isn’t all evil,” said Aaron Bailey’s daughter, Erica.

The Bailey family said it has a message to everyone in Indianapolis: Keep the conversation going about police-community relations, and one event will not create change.

The family also has a message to the two officers who shot Aaron Bailey.

“Why did you take my daddy? I really miss my daddy a lot,” said Erica Bailey. “Do the right thing and tell the truth. I would do the same thing if I did wrong.”

It’s unclear whether those two officers will be charged with any crime, but organizers from the group Don’t Sleep said Marion County Prosecutor Terry Curry should not make that decision.

They said a special prosecutor should be assigned to the case because they said Curry has a relationship with IMPD that is too intimate.
